Chapter 49
After eating, old man Xiao and Xiao Jingyu left, once they left, Li Mujin and Li Mufan had nothing to do.

In old Li's house, after breakfast, Li Mujin would wash the pots and dishes, sweep the yard, do the laundry, clean the pigsty, hunt pigweed, and work in the fields.As for Li Mufan, he spends all day collecting cow dung on the official road three miles away, and walks dozens of miles every day.

Endless work all day long!

Now that the family is separated, the two of them are suddenly free.

If in the past, Li Mujin would have been very happy when she was free!But now she is forced to make ends meet, so she has to find some work to do.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't know what to do.There is a lot of knowledge of the 25th century in my mind, but it is not realistic to act immediately.What's more, in the past, I only focused on cultivation, and I was taken care of when I ate, drank, and littered, and my hands-on ability was really poor.

Not to mention the original body, who has been doing rough work in Lao Li's house, except for the cooking skills of home-cooked meals, he is basically incompetent.She doesn't even know how to spin cotton and embroider, which every woman learns!

"Little Jin, why are you sitting there in a daze, come over and help the old woman hook this thread."

After dinner, the two women of the Xiao family got busy.Under the eaves, Mrs. Du was sitting on a low stool, with a sewing basket at her feet, and a simple weaving frame in front of her. Each stitch was like a dragon attracting a phoenix, and it shuttled back and forth on a piece of pure white fine cloth.

Yu Shi sat on the other side, and she was twisting the hemp rope, which would be used when weaving straw baskets.She is getting old, and she used to be able to twist hundreds of pieces a day for such a small job, but now she can't do it anymore, she is so slow to do the work.

"Oh, here we come."

Li Muqin was in a daze, Yu called out and pulled her back from the fugue thousands of miles away, she answered, stood up, lifted the low stool she made under her and walked over.

"Sister Qing, how long will it take you to embroider this piece of embroidery? How much will it sell for after you embroider it?"

When Li Muqin was drawing thread for Mrs Yu, from the corner of her eye she kept looking at the peony picture embroidered in front of Mrs Du's body. The embroidery was about forty centimeters square, and four peonies had already been embroidered on it.

Li Mujin couldn't tell her embroidery skills, she was just curious about how much such an embroidery could sell for.

"Embroidery for a month. As for how much I can sell, it's not up to me. This embroidery thread is all brought back from the Jinxiu Building in the county. When will it be finished and when will it be taken back? Such a piece Embroidery is [-] Wen."

Embroidered thread and embroidered cloth are expensive, and they can't afford them, so they can only get them from Jinxiu Building.But not everyone can get it from there. If you want to get it from them, you have to embroider a small flower on the spot. After you pass the embroidery skills, they will entrust you with the work.

In the past, she only embroidered a pouch, a sachet, and a handkerchief belt, and it took several years to be qualified to embroider such a large embroidery.

"One hundred pennies, so little!"

Li Muqin was a little stunned to be paid such a small amount of wages for embroidering such a piece of embroidery in a month, and lost control for a while, and shouted loudly.

When she shouted, Yu Shi, who was twisting the thread in front of her, was startled and gave her a look.Seeing this, Li Mujin smiled awkwardly and shrank her neck.

"It's not a lot. After all, a woman can do needlework and threading. If you have good craftsmanship, you can grab a lot of them. If others can see them, it's considered pretty good. To put it bluntly, our women's handicrafts are not worth much."
